How do we prepare our high school seniors to thrive in college while maintaining a solid Christian faith? Do you know that 70-80% of high school students who enter college as Christians leave with little or no faith? 

In Episode 51 of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy welcomes Dr. Katherine Pasour, author of "Stay the Course: A Devotional Handbook to Survive and Thrive Your First Year of College and Beyond,” to discuss practical advice for high school seniors transitioning to college. Together, they explore the importance of faith, consistency, and utilizing campus resources to thrive academically and spiritually in a new environment. Missy and Katherine also emphasize the role of parents in maintaining supportive, open communication with their children during this critical time.

Here are a few highlights from the episode:

She recommends exploring and utilizing campus resources early on, such as tutoring centers and writing labs, reminding students that seeking help is a sign of strength.

2. The discussion highlights the importance of finding a community of believers in college, whether through campus organizations, local churches, or peer groups. A solid support system of like-minded individuals can help students maintain their faith amidst challenges and temptations.

Friends, let today’s episode inspire you to act, whether you’re a student preparing for college or a parent supporting your child’s transition.
